isn't this outside looking in? It needs a bit more intensity of color and focus

Composition - Good strong topic that most of us can relate to. That is something intangible that can sometimes be hard to figure out. You've done great here. This has a great emotive theme to it. The only thing about the objects in the composition that I would have done different is to put the bloom on the flower up instead of down. But that's very minor. The rest of the arrangement is very good.

Technical - I think the mood of this photo is pretty somber and I think that underexposing this to some degree would satisfy the mood a little more. We need to see that the rings are rings and the front of the note is brightly lit. The rest of it could be relatively dark and I think that it would be more emotive. Good sharp picture and I like the toning.

Overall - Nice job with this one O. I think you chose your topic well. A little mood adjustment with the lighting and I think you jump .3 or .4 which is pretty significant. Good work and good luck in the future - Bob

Well done, although I'd probably see how it looked with darker overall tones.
